What is RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)

A technology that enables tracking of the movement of an object which carries microprocessor and a label with antenna, through the datas It carries on this label and wireless communication technology (RF signals).

The wireless use of electromagnetic fields to transfer data for the purposes of automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to objects. The tags contain electronically stored information.

It is the wireless use of electromagnetic fields to transfer data, for the purposes of automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to objects. The tags contain electronically stored information. Some tags are powered by electromagnetic induction from magnetic fields produced near the reader.

RFID can identify objects automatically by attaching tags to objects and reading them remotely with RFID readers. This technology is being used for a very wide range of services, including passport and cashcard.

Form of automated radio frequency based identification of objects. RFID systems consist of an antenna, a transceiver for reading radio frequency and to transfer information, a processing device and a transponder.

An RFID system for cold chain purposes generally encompasses a sensor, a tag and a reader, that communicate with each other by means of radio transmission. RFID tags can store an EPC for logistics management purposes, and, if equipped with the appropriate sensor and battery power, a limited number of temperature readings.
